About this sitter

We have been traveling around the world full time since 2016 and house/pet sitting since 2012.

We have over 50 positive reviews on Airbnb.

Our most recent pet sitting:

Luke & Keira (Summer 2023 Sandia Heights, NM for 3 Months )
- Two lovely older cats. Finicky eaters
- One of the cats was blind in one eye and required medication 2x/day.

Tommy ( Fall 2023 Boulder, CO over 3 weeks )
- One great kitty

Hank & Adele (Fall 2023-Spring 2024 Orcas Island, WA 7 months )
- Two indoor/outdoor kitties
- One requires Asthma medication

Prior to traveling we had two great cats for over 16 years until they became elderly and sick. One cat had a Hyperthyroid Condition and the other had Feline Leukemia.

We have experience caring for dogs.

Besides travel we enjoy quiet nights at home and outdoor activities. We are non-smokers in good health.

Prior to retirement I was a Director of Quality Assurance for an International grocery company. Angela was an Operations Manager of an International shipping company.

Why they want to house sit

We love the adventure and challenges of worldwide travel. We especially like staying in local houses/apartments as opposed to hotels. Since we are retired we would like the ability to stay in homes/apartments around the world for extended periods. We have over 50 positive reviews on (available upon request). We also like the idea of caring for a house and/or pets to give us a sense of purpose.
